Now most of these people can be counted on to keep their mouths shut for various reasons, but lately I've been wondering, Did Daryl tell Miles about everything that happened in Australia?

The wolf pack are the only characters that King regularly interacts with that supposedly don't know, I can picture a scene where he says something off, or flubs something (which he still occasionally does) and gets all worried, just to have Miles or Jack step in like "relax, we've known for months, we were just waiting for you to bring it up."

Yeah, I mean, even if King thinks he's put his past life behind him, that was twenty-something years of his life - certainly longer than he's been a dog. He can't just forget it, and it's bound to slip out eventually. I'd actually like to see one of the wolves just confront him about it - tell him it's as much a part of him as the woods are still a part of them, and to not be ashamed of it.

Considering they were full grown adults when he was a child and he's an adult now... I don't know how long animal lifespans are in this universe but if it's like ours then they probably aren't around anymore.

If King ever returns to heaven or if King's old pets decide to take haunting classes, they could still pop up at some point.

None of the characters (save the cubs) seem to have aged significantly in the 10? year run of the comic, and I do remember reading somewhere that animal lifespans are longer in the HP! universe, but I don't recall if that's canon or not.

if i remember correctly, about 40 years under ideal conditions, significantly shorter for wild/stray/ferral animals. could be wrong though.

Yes, Rick has put it this way a few times

Time and age have canonically been linked only as strongly as Rick says they are

i usually measure passage of time in fiction by the number of canon Christmas specials. we've had 1 (the imaginate play)

there's at least one comic that is clearly set on or around Christmas every year. imaginate play, King's proposal, King's introduction, the last panel of the comic with the birth of King's pups, the first comic in color was a christmas comic, the wolves at the zoo arc was around Christmas, the last comic of the Fox and Mungo Arc, the Openermas arc, the first arc with Res.

that's 9 Christmas comics for 9 years. the comic's time generally lines up with real time at an arc's beginning, then falls behind but sometimes has a timeskip at the end to catch back up for special events

As Sleet said , though, it probably operates on Cartoon time like how Bart and Lisa Simpson don't know about the 90s despite being their current age in 88.

Another variation for this topic is generational. Fido and Sabrina are older than Peanut and Grape, for example, and apparently by a number of years. Sabrina makes very clear to Grape - indeed, threatening our beloved purple feline with dental mayhem - that her age is a taboo topic. Tarot also seems older than Peanut. How did Joel's age translate into dog years when he became King? Is Miles significantly older than the Pete? Are Joey, Lester, and Dallas junior to Peanut and Grape? What role does birth place play in their relationships?

True, Buster. The celestial are likely unbound by time. Wish I could remember what I wrote that the stoopid tablet decided to alter. Still, age sequence may play a role in some of the relationships: regards.
